Are you familiar with the Canvas Rotation option in the Navigator Studio? It will allow you to rotate the image using two fingers without turning the iPad. When you are done, you can type in 0 to reset it.

1. Not sure why turning autorotate would benefit anyone unless you are using your iPad at a weird angle that keeps putting it into vertical mode. There’s no option for it in the app. 2. If you’re using an external keyboard, CMD-D will deselect. I don’t think there’s really a faster way to do it on the screen aside from tapping back to New and then tapping the screen outside of your selection. You can also select the shape tool, for instance, and then tap on the screen and it will do the same thing. Nothing while you are in Add mode that I know of. 3. There is currently not a way to change the default from New to Add. 4. If you go to the Navigator Studio and pin it using the icon on the top right of the studio (to keep it open while you are working), you can zoom into the photo and work on a small portion of it. Double tapping the thumbnail in the Navigator Studio will zoom you out to fit the entire image. When you double tap the thumbnail again, it will bring you back to the last view. In case you didn’t know, you can also slide up and down the actual Navigator Studio icon to zoom in and out. You just can’t zoom to exact values using this method.

In this video, I continue working on the image I opened up as a RAW original. This time, I’m inside the Photo Persona crafting the final look. I cover the Inpainting tool, masking, reusing selections, blending a texture layer, using blend ranges, dodging and burning and using the High Pass tool for sharpening.

Do you want to move beyond the confines of the built-in vignette in Affinty Photo for iPad with all of its limitations? In this video, I show you how you can easily create a fully-customizable vignette. You can also download the macro version of this vignette for free.

Here is part two of my tutorial talking about processing RAW images inside the Develop Module of Affinity Photo for iPad. Enjoy!

In this tutorial I talk about everything in the tool bar inside the Develop Persona.

Please disregard. Upon further research, I found the answer to my question. It does not work on gradient overlays in the Develop Persona.

Greetings, While in the Develop persona in AP, is this overlay eraser tool limited to the paint overlay? When I created a gradient overlay, it didn’t work on that.

You cannot change the interface itself. The buttons, etc. stay at their default colors. That slider you are referring to changes the background canvas color. If you push it all the way to the right, you’ll see that your canvas is now white. Pushing it all the way to the left makes it black.

Baffled by the High Pass filter? I explain how to use it for sharpening in this tutorial. Even though it’s made specifically for the iPad app, it’s also relevant for the desktop version.

Hi everyone, I just published my latest tutorial on masking basics. Although it’s specific to the iPad version, the concept of masking is not program-specific. Enjoy

Just posted a new tutorial covering layer basics in Affinity Photo for iPad. Enjoy.

Ha ha, that was too easy. I was looking for a complex solution to a simple problem, apparently

Thanks, I’m not sure how to create the link in my initial post so that it shows as a clickable image. I tried embedding the code but that’s not working.

Hi all, this is my first tutorial for AP for the iPad. Some tips are already on the Web but they work a little differently on the iPad version. This is the first in a series of videos I plan to create.
